REBUILD AND ASSEMBLY
NOTE
Look down through the top of the housing, and spin the eccentric by hand. The
eccentric should run parallel to the housing ribs. If the gap between the eccentric and
housing ribs varies by more than 1/16 inch during rotation, the eccentric is misaligned.
Contact the nearest Service Center. If the eccentric is misaligned do not continue installing
the rebuild kit, as premature rod or sleeve failure may result.
STEP 2.
Align the front face of the
connecting rod with the front face of the
bearing. This will result in a clearance
of about .032 inch between the rod and
the eccentric (See Fig. #7). Tighten the
clamping screw to 15 in. - lbs. torque.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN, or bearing
damage/connecting rod breakage may
result.
STEP 3.
Slide the sleeve down until it
contacts the housing. The 4 locator ribs
should bear against the inside surface
of the sleeve and the sleeve should hold
the dust shield in place.
STEP 1.
Clean the old adhesive
from connecting rod bearing
(mounted on the eccentric).
Apply Loctite® #680 (supplied)
or equivalent to the bearing bore
of the new connecting rod. (See
Fig. #2). Apply Loctite® #242
(supplied) or equivalent to the
threads of the connecting rod
screw, and turn the screw a few
turns into the new rod. Do not
tighten. Slide the dust shield onto
the rod. Drop the new rod and
sleeve assembly through the top
of the compressor housing with
the head of the rod clamping
screw to the right (as viewed
through the open end of the
compressor housing). Slip the
rod onto the bearing. Locate
the dust shield by lining up the
locator slots of the shield on the
locator ribs of the housing. (See
Fig. #6)
